How to deal with fall allergies in Tulsa air filtration

Published on October 13, 2015

Seasonal allergies in Tulsa are serious business. Whether it’s the heart of spring, summer, or fall, allergy sufferers know that the symptoms can greatly alter the way you feel. Sure, symptoms can go from mild to severe, but there is one thing that all allergy sufferers may not know they can consider in order to help alleviate their symptoms in their home – buy a whole-home air filtration system.

There are a number of ‘over-the-counter’ ways to treat your allergy symptoms, but good household air filtration can help you make certain one major piece of the puzzle is covered so that your home’s air is helping, not worsening, your allergies.

Here are a couple tips Jack Nelson Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning put together to help you breathe a little easier when your allergies would probably flare up:

1)Investigate the types of air filtration systems

Whole-home air cleaners and air filtration systems come in a host of shapes, sizes and technologies. Considered top-of-the-line, HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) Filtration systems are considered ‘hospital-grade’ air cleaners, and are the perfect choice for the most severe allergy sufferers and asthmatic residents. A HEPA filter is also a good choice for elderly or infant residents with respiratory problems.

2)Improve your home’s humidity

One of the more common household microbes that stir up respiratory problems is often the result of excessive humidity and mold. If your home is too humid it can become the preferred environment for microbes to grow and thrive, potentially causing a host of structural problems as well as respiratory problems. On the other side, if your home lacks adequate humidity, it can cause dryness of the skin, nose and throat, leading to other concerns. Fortunately, a great solution for decreasing humidity can be treated with a household dehumidifier. To increase humidity for dry areas, a humidifier is the right solution.

There are a number of humidification choices from Jack Nelson Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning that are already created to work best with your current heating and cooling system, making it easy to receive the benefits that proper air filtration can give you.

3)Keep pollen outside of your home

Sure, it seems like common sense, but there are a couple ways you can easily keep pollen from finding its way in without you thinking twice about it.

Shoes – make a habit of taking off your shoes when you first come inside so you aren’t tracking pollen throughout the house.

Clothes – if you’ve been mowing the lawn or participating in any outdoor activities, it’s likely that you have pollen on them. If you plan on being indoors for a while, consider changing your clothes.

Shower – if you’ve been outside for a few hours, consider showering once you go indoors. Pollen can be left on your clothing and get in your hair and on any exposed skin.

Seasonal allergies in Tulsa can bring some unpleasant symptoms with them, but they aren’t anything that a quality air filtration system can’t take care of. Best of all, estimates for the installation of a new air filtration don’t cost you anything.
